T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, lVILL AM; SHEAHAN,

a citizen of the United States, and a res1- dent of the city of'OceanFalls, Province of British Columbia, 'Dominion of Canada; haveinventedanew and useful Im'pr0'vement in Devices for Reeling Paper After. BeingCalendered, of which the following i mechanism;

is a specification.

One of the main objects of 1ny 'invention is to provide a simple andefficient mechanism for reeling the paper after being calendered in apaper making machine.

A further object is to provide afreel for.

paper making machines which is driven by frictional contact with one ofthe calender rolls, and is removably mountedanchhori zontally slidableon its supporting" frame, so that it can be slid out 'of contact fromthe calender roll, and at the same timerotated at a predetermined rateofjspeed, and

thus providing for the placing'of another reel in front of the woundreel'an-d'inoperative contact with the calender r011."

A further object is to provide a mecha nism whereby paper fromapapermaking machine is removed from the calenderfr'olls' onto the winderroll and as the Winder bar increases in diameter due toaccumulation of.paper, an unfilled roll being smaller in d1 ameter can be placed underthe moving paper and allowthe paper to be wound'on this: new roll in aminimum amount of time'.

A furtherobject'is to provide :the 'combination of a driving roll, awinderroll for winding an endless sheet of material led from the drivingroll, said winder roll being removably mounted and horizontally slidableso as to be placed in frictional contact with or spaced from the drivingroll,

releasable means for holding the winder lution imparted to the winderroll by the driving roll at the instant the former is.

Frames 7), '0 and d are'mounte do-n base The drive shafte is j ournalediin the 'ba'se' a and a sprocket'is inoiinteclthereon. Stub shafts g arejournaled in the iipper parts of the frames 6,10 and d5 They areinountedin adjustable bearings h soas to taln'a up any slack in the chains.Thesebea'rings are adjusted by screws 71.; Sprockets -j-"aremounted'on'the stub'shafts g and 'are-pos'i-i tioned in verticalalinement with thesprock ets f. The drive chain is is mounted over thesesprockets. Sprockets Z are also rigidly mounted on the shafts 9 betweenthe frames 6 and 0. Another stub shaft m is passed thru the frames 7), 0and d and iournaled therein. A sprocket n positioned between the framesZ) and c is mounted freely on the shaft m and in line with the sprocketZ. A chain 0 is mounted over the sprockets n and Z and between theframes Z) and 0. Another sprocket p is mounted freely on the shaft mbetween the frames 0 and d. Another stub shaft 9 is mounted in theslidable bearing boxes T which slide in the frames 0 and cl. Thesprocket q is rigidly mounted to the shaft g. These bearing boxes aremade of side pieces 7' and separate end pieces 2''? and r A screw 8 isfixed to the end pieces r and r and is mounted in the frame (I. Thebrake shaft t is mounted thru the bases a and has sprockets u fixedthereon. A chain c is mounted about the sprockets p, (1 and u. The brakeshaft 23 is supported in the middle by bearing to. A pulley a; is fixedto the brake shaft and an adjustable friction band 3/ is placed aroundit. Friction blocks a are fastened to the band at 1 and provides afriction surface on the face of the pulley. A lug 2 is fastened to theband y and the rod 3 is attached to this lug. A compression spring Amounted in the con tainer 5 exerts a tension in the rod 3. As the lug isbrought around in a counter-clock wise direction the spring a iscompressed because the block 6 holds it on one end and the container 5holds on the bottom and on the other end. The shaft (1 is rotated by theratchet lever 7 Manual pressure on the ratchet lever '7 causes the shaftq to be partly rotated thereby turning the sprocket 9" which in turngives movement to the chain c and thereby rotates the brake shaft t thruthe sprocket it. Because the brake band pulley 00 is keyed to the shaft(5 and the adjustable friction band i is mounted to ,this pulley anyrotation in the brake shaft results in compression being given to thespring 4 and when the proper amount of pressure is brought against thespring 4 the bolts 8' are placed thru the chain i) so as to maintain thetension in this chain. This bolt 8 is mounted on the frame 0 and slipsthru a hole 9. It is operated by the link mechanism 10. The winder bar11 is mounted on the shaft 12 which is mounted in the slidable boxings13 which slide in the recesses 14 and 15 in the top of the frames 0 andd. A sprocket 16 is rigidly mounted to the shaft 12 and is in verticalalinement with the chain 0 but spaced slightly above it. The fulcrumedrod 17 is adapted to raise the chain 0 so that it will connect with thesprocket 16. This rod '17 is fulcrumed as at 18 and is operated by thecam 19 which is controlled by the slotted lever 20 and the pusher rod21. A hook 22 is mounted in the slidable boxing l3 and the cable 23mounted about the sheave 24 provides means for moving the boxing alongthe recessed portions 14 and 15. This pulley is mounted in a support 25which is mounted to the frames 6, 0 and (Z. An eye-bolt 26 is placed inthe top of the slidablebearings 13 and provides a means for moving thewinder bar out of position.

The operation is as follows: The winder bar with its bearings is placedin position in the recesses 14 and 15 and is pushed against the calenderroll so that it is in frictional contact with it. Manual pressure isthen exerted on the ratchet lever 7 and the spring 1 is compressed. Thepin 8 is then dropped in place in the links of the chain -v and thecompression force which is set up in the spring 4 results in a tensionbeing placed in the chain c, and thus the winder bar 11 is held tightlyagainst the calender roll. The winder bar is thus caused to rotatemerely by the frictional contact against the calender roll. As thewinder bar rotates winding up the paper it is forced away from thecalender roll by the paper causing the roll to grow larger in diameter.This slid-.

pushed in which throws the cam element up I and forces the chain 0upward and in connection with the sprocket 16. Thus the winder roll canbe rotated by this drive chain 0. The bolt 8 can then be removed frombetween the links of the chain o and the winder bar can be removed fromfrictional contact with the calender roll. The cable 23 is connectedwith any suitable mechanism which can move this roll backward. A newwinder bar can then be placed adjacent the calender roll and the paperbroken. and placed on the new roll and the old one can then be takenaway.
